The Village’s K–12 school district, shared with Nichols Hills, Spencer, Valley Brook. It’s its own government, with a budget separate from the town’s.
Of the $13,968 per pupil, $6,832 goes to the classroom (teachers, aides, supplies); the rest to buses, buildings, counselors and administration. Building projects and debt payments aren’t in the per-pupil figure.
Oklahoma districts overall: 42% local, 45% state, 14% federal.
